Did you actually enjoy school and miss being a student?

[msc545]

I ask because school, particularly after high school, was the best experience of my life. I loved every minute of it, and I did really well. I miss school terribly at this time in my life, and I want to go back. I'm thinking about going to law school if they let me in.

[sawno]

No, I once had a dream I was in my final year of school and I just couldn't take it. Its intollerable to have to do that again and I am glad I won't have to.

School has very little value and a waste of our youth. We should be experts in our field at 18. I could have on my own, but the system held me back by forcing me to be there and forcing me to get a degree first.

This. School is run by teachers for teachers. The kids are just in the way.

[Iron_Man]

I do miss it because I was involved with sports and I had friends. Although I think sports shouldn’t have anything to do with schoo. The wrestling team was a part of my school and I really enjoyed it. I played many sports football and boxing.

I miss being a student because I love acquiring knowledge and if I could I'd be a long term academic.

[CarolineWhizz]

Short answer, no. Left and never looked back

[msc545]

Sorry to hear that. I don't think the later version of you is going to be thanking the younger version of you exactly.

[Sevenpointfive]

you might like it. i imagine it's quite different than med school. boring even unless you're into law specifically. most people have motivations before they choose to learn a subject. what's yours?

[msc545]

I just want to learn about it. I don't have any other motivation.

[Sevenpointfive]

i'm impressed you think we'll still be here for your graduation.

[msc545]

It's only three years.

[slatyb]

Reading at 4, arithmetic at 5, self-taught algebra at 7 or 8, calculus at 11. I was bored out of my gourd.

[ProbablyClueless]

I was never one to sit still, but I love to learn. Being a student was alright, but I struggled in the classroom environment.

[BCRanger10]

I don't necessarily miss school, but I do think I'd be a better student now than I was when I was in school.

[msc545]

I understand. I think sometimes it takes a bit of maturity to really do well in some of these programs which are very rigorous. I was fortunate enough to be able to do very well in school from the very beginning that I give many people who had difficulties initially. Nothing to be ashamed of or worried about.

[DryGermanGuy]

I have to agree! The „roaring 20s“ were the best time of my life. Wish I could go back.

[jamesgoldman]

College was pretty good but school Nah I hated it... sooner be out earning (got a bit better once I realised I could earn at school)

[888theGreat]

heck no , but I can read at a higher level than Trump, of course so can monkeys

[msc545]

Snails can read at a higher level than Trump can.

[888theGreat]

And even faster. You know what a producer said? He said on celebrity apprentice , when Trump got a big word , he couldn't read it , he got mad and crapped his diaper and then accused people on staff trying to ruin him. It is out there.

[msc545]

It might possibly be true.

[Pterodon]

Fuck no. I hated every second I was forced to be there from kindergarten until I was finally old enough to quit. I did my dream job for my dream company without a GED and proved everyone wrong

[robocop666]

hated it and made my parents suffer for not removing me form it.

[lilBigPotato]

Nope I didn't enjoy it much.

[AngryCarl3]

I'm autistic. School was literal hell.

[IknowthatIdontKnow09]

Not really

[TonyMetal___86]

Yes!

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Hell no.

[msc545]

I'm very sorry to hear this. You're smart enough that you could have benefited tremendously from it.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I graduated with an honor cord, and I had to bust my ass to do that, but that's not why I wouldn't want to go to school again. I hated school because of all the irrational bullying that went on and because of all the idiots who were already on drugs an alcohol at 16 to 18 years old.

I'd never go back to that worthless place again. I learned most of what I did learn on my own time in the Library anyway, not the classroom.
